Finally something Ole Miss doesn’t have to worry about. Because if we are cheating, we’re doing it wrong.

Everybody's fricked. Nothing to do but
have a warm glass of milk & go to bed.
And just remember:
"If a thing is worth having,
it's worth cheating for."

Auburn, Kansas, Zona, Louisville, Miami...

Also, I would not trust Thamel, dude has been proven to thrown shite to see it stick. This is the FBI...not the NCAA...will be interesting see who gets named...and ALL FANS should be nervous...including Duke...to Michigan State...and even Kentucky.

All it takes a booster or an agent going behind a coach and the compliant department to commit the violations.

If it was the NCAA I am sure there would be massive penalties.



For the South Dakota Coyotes.

College basketball is nasty, it's been corrupt this badly for decades. It's about time.

it sure doesn't surprise me. it starts before college with the so-called AAU (which is respectable in most sports) scene and their networks and handlers. it's like they have "agents" at age 12 or so. and now there's the one and done rule.


Had a friend who was in an AAU tourney in Vegas in the 80s and the stories he had were incredible.

The NCAA has tolerated this stuff to the point you cannot call college basketball amateur.

NCAA expanded number of teams in the NCAA tournament, and in August 2005 bought both the preseason and postseason NITs for $56.5 million. LINK

People are so misinformed. Auburn is not an Adidas school. The FBI investigation that is connected to Auburn does not involve Bruce Pearl. It is centered on Chuck Person, who was forced onto Pearl's staff when he took the Auburn job. Person is a former Auburn player. None of Person's actions involve recruiting. They involve Person taking money from an agent to funnel two players currently on the roster to the agent in anticipation of them being drafted at the NBA draft.

They used players Person was paying so fine might be a little much, but their troubles will be completely limited to 2016-17 games.

There will be major overhauls in the rules. I don't doubt that there will be a "Commissioner of College Basketball" that comes out of all of this.


If the NCAA knows about this and it can be proven, the conferences could take the NCAA tourney away from the NCAA like what happened in football. That would kill the power of the NCAA from a financial stand point.

Whoever school is associated with the agent Andy Miller and the schools who were listed with the FBI indictments last year should be nervous. Also, majority of players who played at Kansas are associated with Miller...they should be sweating bullets.

Like I said, Auburn, Louisville, Okie State, Miami, Zona, UConn were associated with the FBI investigation.

Not worried. They've already told Auburn the investigation was limited to Person.

Better hope there is no association with Pearson and Miller. If so, we’ll.....

And no one should be naive to think their school will not go down in this scandal. But if your school has a relationship with Miller and was associated with the FBI this past fall should be placed on noticed.
